Chapter 28 Disturbance
Kelsey hurried to her feet as usual at lunch.
And as soon as she got outside the Ans Bank building, she immediately smiled broadly after seeing Gerald How happily spread his arms to hug her.
The two hugged each other regardless of the envious glances from Kelsey's co-workers or people they didn't know who were passing around the area.
"Well, let her go, Gerald!" Angel said, who had just appeared alone with Selena.
Gerald reluctantly released his hold and pursed his lips, "You bully."
Angel didn't take it, "You call us a nuisance after we always helped organize surprises for Kelsey?"
Gerald who was originally pouting immediately changed his expression to be very sweet, "Oh, no. You are angels without wings, Of course."
"That's only true, Mr. How," Angel said happily.
Selena just giggled and added, "Then are you going to treat us now, Mr. How?"
Gerald immediately bowed swiftly as if he were paying respects to King, "With pleasure. That's not a problem for me, ladies."
Selena fired back excitedly, "Good. Let's eat now!"
And so the four of them walked hand in hand towards the restaurant across from
Kelsey's subscription. The restaurant's menu was not much but the four people
were comfortable enough so they didn't want to change places at lunch.
Throughout the lunch program, Gerald realized that his girlfriend more silent than usual. He didn't understand the reason behind Kelsey's silence but considering
he wasn't one to force people to tell stories, he wasn't going to ask.
"Oh, shit! What is he doing here?" Selena swore suddenly.
Kelsey turned to where Selena was looking and suddenly shot a surprised look.
Angel, who was still engrossed in his food, also stopped eating when he saw
Weylin Malachy walking towards the restaurant where they were eating.
Kelsey clenched her fists subconsciously, Gerald asked, "Who is he?"
"Bully," Selena answered quickly.
"Huh? Bully? He doesn't look like a bully," Gerald muttered casually.
Kelsey rolled her eyes lazily, "You can't judge someone just by their appearance, Gerald."
"You're right, Kels."
Gerald was still observing the man who had entered the restaurant.
"Can we just go now?" Kelsey asked then.
Angel stupidly asked, "Why? I still haven't finished my food."
Selena called out, "Angel."
"Why is it?" Angel said, still while eating.
"He's here," Gerald said.
Weylin calmly said, “May I sit here too?”
"Please," Gerald answered.
"No," Kelsey replied.
Gerald turned to Kelsey, confused. Weylin smiled but since he saw that there was an empty seat, he desperately shifted the chair and sat comfortably in it. Kelsey glared disapprovingly.
"Why is the CEO of Ans Bank sitting together with the common employees here?" Kelsey said annoyed.
Weylin looked left and right and then answered, "Because you're the only one I know here. Isn't it better to sit with someone we know?"
Kelsey was seen clutching the edge of the table and it was seen by Weylin.
Gerald who didn't know anything instead reached out his hand to Weylin who frowned when Gerald unexpectedly offered his hand.
"Gerald How. I'm a lawyer, Kelsey's lover," Gerald said calmly.
Gerald's hand was still left hanging by Weylin.
"So that someone you know besides Kelsey is here," Gerald continued with a friendly smile.
Weylin nodded, "Weylin Malachy, CEO of Ans Bank."
He shake Gerald's hand.
Gerald's face froze, "Wait a minute!"
Weylin's hand was still held by Gerald. "Yeah?"
Weylin said, glancing at his hand. Kelsey closed her eyes at Gerald's mistake allowing Weylin to join them.
"Did I hear right? Malachy? You are a Malachy?" Gerald said still in disbelief.
Weylin hesitantly replied, "Yes. Any problems?"
Gerald smiled broadly and waved the hand that was still holding Weylin's hand.
Weylin who felt uncomfortable gave a code with a glance in his eyes for his hand to be released.
Luckily, Gerald caught on and immediately said, "Oh, sorry. I was just too excited to meet you."
Selena frowned, "Are you serious, Gerald?"
Gerald nodded more enthusiastically, "Of course. You know, no. Malachy is a quite famous family and I wouldn't mind if you were the CEO of Ans Bank. But how come I just found out you're the CEO of the bank my boyfriend works at?"
Weylin was irritated when he heard Gerald refer to Kelsey as his girlfriend.
Why is he? sour since he had been sitting there earlier, Weylin replied, “I did just move here. And only started working on Ans Bank today."
"Oh, great. You ...."
Gerald didn't continue his words as soon as he saw his lover had risen from his chair.
"Kels, wait!" Gerald shouted who was completely ignored by Kelsey.
Selena and Angel spoke together, "Excuse me, Mr. Malachy!"
Weylin just stared flatly Kelsey's departure, while Gerald was now seen following Kelsey. Weylin took his cell phone out of his coat pocket, he spoke in a firm voice, "Tomorrow I have to know everything about Aiden Lieven."
"My father is a pilot. He works to fly planes in the sky," Denis said.
Raven Blake commented, "Great. Next up, Anastacia."
"My father is a dentist. He works to treat people with toothaches at the hospital," Anastacia said smoothly.
Raven said, "That's great. Then Lauren's next."
With a bright smile Lauren said, "My father is a trader and he works in the market selling goods."
Raven smiled, "Very good. Now who else. Uh, yes. Aiden."
Aiden fell silent. The boy who wasn't even five years old still didn't want to stand up and just looked down.
"Aiden. Come on, baby!" Raven said from the front.
Aiden still didn't react.
Raven finally walked closer to Aiden and said, "Why, honey? Did you forget the order?"
Aiden shook his head weakly.
"You remember, don't you? Then why don't you get up, honey?" Raven asked softly.
"I-I ...."
"Yes, Aiden? Just say it, kid. What's wrong? Don't you understand the teacher's orders?"
"I understand," Aiden replied quietly.
Raven said again, "You got it, okay. Can you repeat what the order was?"
Aiden resolutely replied, "Tell me your father's occupation and what his duties are?"
Raven smiled, "That's right. Well, since you understand. Please answer the question, kid."
Aiden shook his head slowly.
"Why son? You do not want?"
"It's not like that, Miss," Aiden said.
Raven was getting more and more confused," So what? Don't you know your father's job?”
Aiden was silent, neither confirming nor denying it. Raven sighed slowly, "I won't scold you if you don't want to tell your father's profession," Raven said, still trying to be as gentle as possible.
Aiden looked up, "Promise you won't be angry?"
"Yes, good boy," Raven answered softly.
Aiden hesitantly said slowly, "I don't have a father."
Raven, "...."
